I drink a cup of milk powder every morning. Recently, during my menstrual period, I've been experiencing some menstrual cramps, which I didn't have before. Can I still drink milk powder during menstruation when having menstrual pain?

Women with menstrual cramps can drink milk powder. Preparing and drinking milk powder has no adverse effects on menstrual pain, although it does not have therapeutic benefits either. Milk is rich in protein and calcium. Blood loss during menstruation can weaken the body, and drinking milk appropriately helps strengthen physical condition and replenish protein and calcium. Patients may also drink ginger brown sugar water, apply a warm compress to the abdomen using a hot water bag, and avoid spicy, stimulating, cold, or raw foods.
